More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling one or more booms of a mine vehicle. The invention further relates to a mine vehicle, method and computer program product. The apparatus comprises a control unit (CU) provided with a boom controller (BC) for controlling movements of the boom (3), and a collision server (CS) for executing collision avoidance measures simultaneously during the control of the boom. The collision server is provided with 3D geometry data on at least one part of the boom and one other physical object and is configured to calculate shortest distance between them. The control unit controls the boom so that the 3D geometry data will not collide.
